1. Caesar was in Spain when he saw the statue of Alexander and wept, for at Caesar’s age Alexander had adarely conquered the known world and Caesar had only just begun on the path to glory.2. There were many great generals in the history of Rome but at the time Caesar was running for consul’ the greatest general was indeed Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, or Pompey the Great.3. Caesar had an affair, and a child, with Cleopatra VII, whom he met when he went to Egypt in pursuit of Pompey during the civil war. He didn’t marry though, it was strictly an affair of mutual convenience. It was Marc Antony that married Cleopatra a few years after Caesar’s assassination.

3.) He had an affair w/t egyiptan queen Cleopatra whom he later married she was 21 he was around 54 sooooo1.) He found the statue of Alexander the Great in Spain, and wept..find that he was the exact same age as him when he conquered the world2.) Caesar’s consulship of 59 BC, Caesar sought the office of consul in 60BC .so I would say 59-60BC he sought consulship in RomeScipio Africanus, surely the greatest general that Rome produced OR during this time: Caesar, not Pompey, was now Rome’s great new general

I think Caesar played a big part in the fall of the Republic and the eslebtishmant of the Princeps for life title. But i think Caesar was just the final straw for the Republic. The Republic was well doomed before Caesar took total power. The actions of Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, Marius, Sulla, Pompey all played a part in the fall of the Roman Republic.But the dependence on strong military leaders was a fatal flaw in the constitution of the Republic which allowed for the rise of Caesar. The senate was never strong enough to stand up to the military dictators that it helped to create. When the senate tried to stop Caesar from entering Rome the very army it gave him to conquer Gaul, Caesar used it to conquer Rome.Caesar actually expanded Rome’s borders to include Gaul, Germania, Britain, Egypt. But it was Caesar’s Dictator of Life’ that turned the position of military consul into the one man rule dictatorship and set the scene for the civil war and the Emperors the princeps of Augustus and later emperors.
